Welcome to the forums.
I would suggest that you browse the sticky threads at the top of the listings for the three main forums, ‘avast! 4.x Home/Pro’, ‘General Topics’ and the old ‘Off-topic’ Forums, there is a wealth of information there not only about avast!
Thanks for the welcome…and advice DavidR…I have been reading through some off the topics and finding info …will get there.
Cheers

Sparksy, did you succeed on installing avast?
Feel free to ask any question about avast! 8)
Yes Thanks Tech…got it all installed just getting used to it now…never used it before so have been doing some reading here…Thanks
Sparksy
You will probably have noticed the sticky threads at the top of the lists of each of the forums, they contain a wealth of information not just about avast!
Don’t forget the avast! help file also.
Thanks DavidR…have been reading them.
Cheers

Hi netmalins…glad to hear I was not the only one…I still can’t download it from avast…I ended up getting mine from download.com…even if I try avast now I can’t connect with them apart from updates.

Please can you run nslookup files.avast.com command?
Open command line and type into it
nslookup files.avast.com
Please post its output here or send me it to my e-mail (chocholous {a} avast {.} com)
Sparksy, Rita Hurricane has turned off some servers near to Houston. So, maybe, that’s your problem. Other servers (like the one you’ve taken at www.download.com could work 8)
According to my info, none of the servers was affected by Rita.
I even wrote ‘checker’ tool which does test DNS settings, files redirector and the existing content. All systems go.
We just need to isolate the problem.
If it’s a DNS problem - so the files.avast.com does not resolve at all or it’s a connection problem or if it’s a problem with download managers/traffic filters…
